LEAD PARTNER PROGRAM
We are esteemed corporate leaders dedicated to driving substantial and enduring initiatives aimed at advancing vendor diversity, corporate governance, and marketplace inclusion.
Commit today to support the Black community through economic participation.
The pivotal role
of our
Lead Partners.
As distinguished members of the Business Leadership Council (BLC), Lead Partners actively champion the development of the Black Business Ecosystem, forging meaningful business connections and partnerships with African American enterprises committed to fostering capacity-building among smaller firms and grassroots-level entrepreneurs.
In recognition of their pivotal role, Lead Partners receive memberships for four senior-level African American professionals within their corporation, serving as liaisons between the Business Leadership Council and the company. This strategic collaboration facilitates interactions to cultivate a mutually advantageous working relationship.
Furthermore, a portion of the Lead Partners' annual dues, amounting to $15,000, is specifically designated for programming aligned with the business diversity objectives of both the corporation and the overarching mission of the BLC in nurturing the growth of the Black Business Ecosystem.
